Gung Kalguksu (궁칼국수)

Touted as Daejeon’s lunch hot spot, particularly popular among local office workers, ‘Gung Kalguksu’ tops the city’s famous noodle joints. Its two signature dishes–Mulkhun Kalguksu and Yukgaejang Kalguksu–are served with generous portions that satiate just about any appetite. Also, let me break it to you that they serve some truly crispy Korean pancakes as a side dish. And if your taste buds appreciate a spicy kick, the Kimchi here is a must-try. But proceed with caution, because it sure can pack a punch!

Watayo Up (와타요업)

Situated opposite to Dunsan Girls High School, ‘Watayo Up’ is a Tendon restaurant that’s a local favourite with burgeoning popularity, having featured in ‘Pungja’s Been Again’ series. Their ‘Special Tendon’, topped with eel, shrimp, squid, lotus root, chili pepper, and enoki mushroom, is a feast for both the eyes and taste buds. Matching anyone’s taste, the harmonious blend of savory rice, moisturized by the yolk of the boiled egg, and the crispy tempura is nothing less than heavenly.
